FAQs

What does a business development strategist do?

I help you work out where your best clients come from, who to talk to next, and what to say. You get a clear plan and someone to check it with.

How is this different from a sales coach or a marketing agency?

An agency runs things for you. A coach works on you. I work on your pipeline with you: a plan built for your business that you run yourself.

Do you do outreach or lead generation for me?

No. You run the plan and have the conversations. I give you the strategy, feedback and support.

I don’t have a system at all. Does that matter?

No. Most people I work with start from referrals and good intentions. We start from where you are.

Do I need a CRM or special tools?

No. You get a simple tracker, and we use what you already have.

What does it cost?

The Pipeline Strategy Session is $850. The Strategic Analysis is $2,000. The Monthly Partnership starts at $2,500/mo, based on scope, and is invoiced monthly.

Does the Session or Analysis count toward a bigger offer?

No. Each one stands on its own.

What size businesses do you work with?

Owners of small service businesses and startups, usually 1 to 3 people, who are good at the work and ready to grow.

Can you guarantee results?

No, and I’d be careful with anyone who does. What I promise is a clear plan, clear prices and honest feedback.

How often will I hear from you?

It depends on the offer. The Session and Analysis each come with a written plan and a follow-up conversation. Partnership clients get weekly check-ins.

Will I be working with Alli?

Yes, always.
